OME's gone.....:(

[KaiV]

All

I had OME MD fitted all round from new. All was well and I was happy. Then, I decided to have my winch fitted at around 20000Km. The fitment ctr should have told me to upgrade the front suspension to carry the extra weight

Well, 25000Km later, my front is lower than that of a new std Paj..... Car now has 48000Km on the clock

Fitment ctr not really interested apart from offering to put in new OME's (coils and shocks) in front. Another fitment ctr says I only need coils......

Any advice?
Any other brands worht considering?

Kai, you will not go wrong with the advice offered by Louis (Redlux). I suggest you go see him. He took the trouble to do three trips from Pretoria to Klerksdorp (at his own expense) to sort out the problems I had aafter they fitted an ARB rear diff lock. Eventually, they suplplied me with a complete new diff assembly for free. Louis takes pride in his service.

I recently replaced my old OME(about 100 000km but well worn when replaced) with Ironman on my 2001 Pajero which has the winch and ARB bumper up front. So far they seem to do well(Only done about 5000km with them so far) but they seem slightly noisier than the OME setup?

If I had the money I would probably opt for OME again. In your case I would up the front to Heavy duty and Medium duty at the back, unless you tow often like myself which then makes the HD an option at the rear as well.

Not going for the HD in the rear.
